Thanks everyone for getting back to me on this. I have had quite a night I
followed your instructions Dave I ran trend micro which took 4 hours the
first time it found one instance of a virus called troj_istbar.am and four
instances of another one called troj_startpge.kr. it apperaed to me that
trend micro tried first to move these files and then deleted them also the
original file "error32.dat" was in this list. A lot of files came up as error
94 what does this mean? I then ran the Lava soft ad-aware which found 188
objects. 47 reg keys, 124 reg values, 17 files. at the third pass the user
stat page informs me that it has removed 614 objects. I am very annoyed at
this outcome when I purchased this machine i also purchased (off the shelf )
Norton internet security professional 2004 which included the firewall and
antivirus software I left the pc to run trend micro again and went to bed and
on it's second pass has found no virus but again a great many files with
error 94. I like to add that I do not use any of the dodgey download sites
but would sometines get cd's from friends other than that ido not know how i
could catch a virus.

thanks again everyone for taking the time and interest. Alias I am not sure
how to use the reply to sender feature so I will read the help file. one
final question what do I do now.
